In case you haven't noticed yet, we have moved. We are no longer Political Yen/ Yang. We are now known as The Public Cause. Check us out.

As I have been saying for a couple of weeks now, I have been in the process of starting up a new blog--not on Blogger. It's been a bit shaky because the format and processes are a bit different... and, it's still a work in progress. It's not been easy with my schedule being what it has been. But I have been diligently seeking moments when I can work on it and get it together, as fast as I

Take a look at this jackwagon. A Michigan man who won $2 million in a state lottery game continues to collect food stamps 11 months after striking it rich. And there's nothing the state can do about it, at least for now. Leroy Fick, 59, of Auburn won $2 million in the state lottery TV show "Make Me Rich!" last June. But the state's Department of Human Services determined he was still eligible

I am still exploring all of my options. As of now, I am in a busy stretch in my real life so I haven't had a lot of time to devote to thinking about a new blog. I don't want to be impetuous and do anything rash, just because Blogger is no longer meeting my needs. Which host to go with is a decision I will have to make, as well as whether or not to keep the name and format. Whatever and

T. Rex had a very unique sound. Three members, including front man Marc Bolan, met early deaths....two to motor vehicles accidents and one to some unreported illness. Bolan wrote the songs and the music. This song (off of the 1971 release Electric Warrior) is a pensive piece that seems to highlight the writer's sense and understanding of his own mortality. I have to wonder if he (like many

Every one in the media and the Democratic Party is going completely gaga over the latest AP poll, showing Obama's approval rating at 60%. Yahoo puts the story out front and center. The same poll shows 53% think he deserves re-election. Again, Yahoo wants to make sure you know this right here. The first story doesn't mention it, the second story buries deep in the last third of the text. But to

After enduring a walkout by Democrats, the Indiana General Assembly got the job done and Gov. Daniels signed "The School Scholarship Act" into law. It may not be perfect, but it's better than letting kids get lost in a system that is a grand failure. Choice is what makes the world better. Libertarians, everywhere, should be happy when more choices are created. Daniels is often maligned by

There was a time when Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugs was a voice that could be trusted, but not anymore.  This is not to say that she is never right, because there are some times when she nails it spot on. But there are also times she gets it dead wrong and there are many blind followers who take her word for everything she ways without verification. She often publishes posts about events that the

Here are some quotes that I think exemplify the role of a mother: A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.--Tenneva Jordan The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.--Honoré de Balzac An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy.--Spanish Proverb One

This weekend we give a listen to one of my favorite male solo artists of all time. He has a versatile repertoire of songs he plays. But in each and every one I have heard, he brings out this Roy Orbisonesque mystique. This is to say, much of it is mysterious, pensive, and sensual. If you are wondering what that sounds like, it's much like this one: This one sounds like Orbison with a couple

What would Reagan do? You might not have liked Reagan, I certainly disagreed with his Administration's handling of a few things. But he wasn't a fool and he had a real vision that didn't include a lot of government in it. Another thing I suspect Reagan would have done was release the photos of Osama to show the world that perseverance and patience pays off...and to silence doubters before

It's just not the "racist and right wing" FOX News saying this. BET is saying it because it's evidently true: When Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, he got 43 percent of the white vote and a staggering 96 percent of the Black vote. In the ensuing years, his support amongst Americans in general has wavered—he’s currently at 45 percent approval, 45 percent disapproval—but his

A quote to ponder on this Sunday morning: If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.---Epictetus We are not what other people say we are. We are who, we say we are. We determine this not only by what we say, but how we act. If our actions meet the criteria for high moral principles, we are not bound by other people's faulty perceptions. But....if we

This weekend we have my favorite of the Beatles, George. He was the quietest, but in my opinion, the most introspective of them all and it showed greatly in his music and lyrics. Here is a performance with Leon Russell: This is from the same concert and is a brilliant piece of work in my estimation: Enjoy.

Stories like this must drive the frequenters of the French blog some of us met at, nuts. It's about Europe's version of the Tea Party.

Much has been said over the past few weeks about Donald Trump's flirtations with a Presidential candidacy. And much has been thought. But what have we gleaned from this brand name marketeer and what makes him so intriguing? I have read and heard much from people who say Trump is saying what everyone else is thinking.

Once in awhile, someone has the guts to challenge the Emperor on his new clothes. Or in the case of the fable, the lack thereof.

Just before Obama's election, his grandmother passed away. Just after the classroom portion of her orientation to Heaven was completed, Obama was sworn in and right after that time she began getting the guided tour. At one point they came across a room full of clocks. It was huge and clocks covered all of the walls, end to end, from top to bottom. Naturally, Obama's grandmother asked, "What do

Q. When does a two-time NCAA finalist stop being a Cinderella Team? A. When they win it all and shut up the TV fools like Charles Barkley. To his credit he did give them some props, after they beat the real Cinderella Team that the media wanted in the finals for ratings purposes. But before the game and at halftime, Barkley and some of his colleagues just had to keep harping about how VCU would

Help Wanted: Contract About To Expire Since the moment it was known Obama was the winner of the 2008 Presidential Election, there has been speculation of who could beat him in 2012. As we now find ourselves in early 2011, the punditry is saturated with rumors of who will or will not throw their hat in the ring on the GOP side. We have even seen the name Hillary Clinton circulated as a possible

Remember this display of illogical reasoning by Candy Crowley? Remember how ignorant she showed herself to be on national TV? That's the precisely the kind of idiocy we have come to expect from the slobbering, drooling media types who continue to hail the Emperor with no clothes. Her only saving grace was nobody watches CNN anymore. So she was free to look like a fool and no one really knew.

You can't call it a fluke anymore. But even yet, the national media still calls the Butler Bulldogs a Cinderella team. Even though they are 9-1 in tourney games over the last two years, they are still the underdogs. Even though they are in back to back Final Fours, they just can't get the respect in some circles. Barkley is one of those blathering idiots who cannot grasp this concept and he

Once again, this one comes from the PYY Mailbag: Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day, Bev my wife and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?' He ignored

Here is some food for thought on your Thursday. I have always tried to teach my children that there is no greater freedom on this earth than to be self-reliant.

Once upon a time a few years back, I remember a very small break in the integrity of the vinyl covering of an old recliner that had sentimental value to me. It was an old chair that was very comfortable, it belonged to my grandmother, and they just didn't make them like that anymore. At first, the hole was so small you wouldn't notice it unless you were right near it and looking for it. But

When the Progressives lose the argument, they will resort to the most despicable human behaviors. Herman Cain has come up with an appropriate acronym for this phenomenon, SIN.

This week, we feature a Chicago-based band I loved from the 90s....one that didn't make it very big, despite being incredibly talented and having a unique, refreshing sound. The guy who formed the band found the vocalists singing in a subway station for tips. They only had one hit single, which reached #1 in Australia but only made it to #29 here in America. It's quite the catchy little tune,

For those of you who do not know my governor, I hope you will make some time and watch this speech given by Mitch Daniels at the CPAC. It's a little over a half hour. First you will need to bear through the short introduction by George Will. Those who know George will know that he is not the most animated speaker you will ever encounter, but he says much in a very short passage. Although he's

How does Washington manage to spend so much? There are a whole host of reasons, but a couple components to this complex answer can be found in this video: It might seem funny to intelligent free-thinking rational people like us, but in a way we should feel a bit ashamed for laughing at their stupidity. It's just their culture. It's the Washington way.

I hate to keep harping about certain subjects when there are so many pressing issues in the news. But as I sit here knowing that it's one whole degree Fahrenheit outside, with four inches of snow on top of two inches of ice on top of another three inches of snow, it is hard to focus on Egypt's woes and the thorough and complete incompetence of this Administration. Recently, someone I know

I think PM Cameron is finally starting to get it. "We have failed to provide a vision of society to which they feel they want to belong. We have even tolerated these segregated communities behaving in ways that run counter to our values." And it's not just him. Angela Merkel is coming around too. Speaking to a meeting of young members of her Christian Democratic Union party, Merkel said the

Packer 31 - Steelers 25 This is the last one of the year. But in all honesty I must confess that I went to bed after the halftime show nauseated me. If my Facebook news feed was any indication, I wasn't the only one. As for the game, I didn't have much a dog in the fight. That and the fact I have been dealing with a medium-level family crisis the past 3 days, I just didn't have much interest

Since late last year, there was a concerted effort to cast Obama as channeling Reagan as part of his miraculous recovery, from liberal tax and spend policies to just plain spend. Someone who says he's Howard Fineman is thus quoted: "The irony here is that the president is sort of channeling Ronald Reagan in an effort not to become Jimmy Carter ... but the point is, the president is validating

Many of the modern artists, who are part of today's rock scene, clearly got their creative influences from others who laid the ground work before them. Music tends to be a bit cyclical that way. If you close your eyes and just listen to this tune, you might start to think you are listening to Roy Orbison: This next one isn't quite as obvious unless you can dig deep and go way back in your

Supposedly, this is the latest press release from Al Gore. Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?” and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question. As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with

Yesterday had no football game of any real worth to rant and rave on, so for all of the good little boys and girls who read this blog, I have a special treat to start your week off. Here a more modern version of The Little Red Hen, as told by Ronald Wilson Reagan: How long ago was this read on the radio? How plain was it, back then? Why are we still revisiting the same concepts today?

I am not much on linking back to previous posts to prove I was right about something. But this is one exception worth making--one that is imperative that we revisit, as we head deeper into this present legislative (and eventually election) cycle. Way back when, I wrote some things about immigration that I thought was worth considering and well within the appropriate scope of the debate. One of

While I do hear a certain unique sound in this tune, I also think it carries a bit of a Dylanesque quality. I don't think Ed Vedder sounds much like Mr. Zimmerman when he sings, but the structural components of this music/melody portrays the imagery that someone of his magnitude could capture. Let me say that I am not necessarily a Pearl Jam aficionado but I think this is very good song, one

This week we revisit 20th century history, in the days of which I was but a lad. This video has the voice of the man who was leader of the free world at that delicate point in time.....and suffice it to say, he had the nuclear suitcase with him. First of all, we have to tip the hat to Greg for finding this historical relic. I had tried to locate it a long time ago, forgot out it, and then lost

Police officers are never fully trusted or appreciated. Here in Indianapolis, we have one who has been trying to use the legal system to wrangle out of a drunken driving charge while on duty, one that resulted in the death of an innocent man and serious injuries to two others. We have had rogue undercover narcotics cops raiding suspects' homes, taking money found, keeping the drugs and

The world is once again aghast at the carnage brought on by a simple, bomb-toting coward. But should this really come as a shock? Take a look at a little timeline of attacks in Russia. I counted 23 attacks on this list that was so nicely put together by the Associated Press. I counted 20 of them since 9/11. We all know that Russia is very instrumental in helping Iran develop nuclear

What would you do if you won a million dollars or more in the lottery? First, I would have one hell of a party: Then, I'd pay everything off, save the rest in an annuity, and start banking everything I could for the next few years. If I could do that, I'd retire early. Oh well, that's why it's known as a dream for a buck. Enjoy

Trailer for sale or rent. Rooms to let, 50 cents. It's just a song, right? From the things that "irritate the hell out of you" department comes this little tidbit. It is an op-ed from Britain's Guardian newspaper and it starts off like this: There are two housing crises in Britain. One of them is obvious and familiar: the walloping shortfall in supply. Households are forming at roughly twice

Baltimore at Pittsburgh--Sat. 4:30P Back in the days of the Steeler dynasty, when they won 4 out of 6 Super Bowls, they were almost unstoppable. 1975 was the first year they won it and after many years of being lousy, we were happy for them. But after the second title, they ceased to be an underdog feel good story. Since those days, I have never really been a Steeler fan. And....I don't much

I have forgone the usual Friday Funnies format for this week, due to the nature of the tragedy that the Progressives have used for their own political advantage. The only funny thing bout this is that this strategy is backfiring, just as playing the race card did in the days leading up to the 2010 election.

After listening to the MSM most every day since Saturday, it would come to no surprise that the NBC Nightly News would still be devoting half of their evening newscast to the fallout from the Tucson shooting.
